This 1.5-hour private canal journey sets sail near Central Station, navigating through some of the most famous UNESCO-listed canals in the world.

This cruise is designed for guests aged 18+, making it perfect for groups of friends or couples looking to combine sightseeing with indulgence. Unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks are included, served in elegant glassware that enhances the experience without the fuss.

What sets this trip apart is the blend of comfort and local cultural immersion. Unlike crowded public tours, this private charter offers a personalized feel, allowing you to toast the scenic beauty of Amsterdam with your group. The boat’s captain provides a scenic guided commentary, sharing stories about the canals’ origins dating back to the early 1600s during Amsterdam’s Golden Age when the waterways were pivotal for trade and urban growth.
The meeting point at Oosterdokskade 8, just a short stroll from Amsterdam Central Station and the iconic Sea Palace restaurant, makes this cruise easily accessible. Safety is a priority with life jackets onboard, but the relaxed pace suits even those new to boating.
